I'm trying to create a Firebase Cloud Function where I make an API call to NewsAPI and retrieve a set of articles. The code below is an example, and it aims to retrieve articles from BBCNews.
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp();
var url = 'http://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?' +
'sources=bbc-news&' +
'apiKey={myKey}';
const GetArticles = () => (
fetch(new Request(url))
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response.json());
})
);
When I run this code I get the following error message:
ReferenceError: Request is not defined

How would I fix this?
